Most butterflies observed on trails just N and S of the SNA boundaries. Still a fair amount of snow patches in the woods. The Scarce Infant (Leucobrephos brephoides) as well as Infant (Archiearis infans) were common. Night mothing was fantastic with 100's and 100's of individuals attracted to banana brown sugar bait (picture is Orthosia rubescens)
